Haha! that´s genius. Could technically be applied to lots of unpleasant tasks. I sometimes have difficulties with getting out of bed in the morning. Might a "just stand up" help with that problem?
I will test that tomorrow.
- singlow 9y agoI might test that today!

- Dangeranger 9y agoFor me it’s “just take off the covers”.
- PeOe 9y agoThat works for you? Haha! I think I´d just keep sleeping after that. Although it does get colder once the sheets are gone.
- tmnvix 9y agoI find there's something you can do even before standing up that helps get you closer to your goal of getting out of bed. If you stretch a bit while still in bed it gets your blood running and gives you the 'kick' you need. Feels good and requires no effort.
- rconti 9y agoI'm an expert at getting out of bed, walking across the room to snooze the alarm, walking back, and getting back in bed. Sometimes for hours! That said, I sort of rely on this process where each time I wake up I'm slightly less likely to fall back asleep. Sometimes I grab my phone and figure I'll just look at a few things while I lounge in bed, and within a minute or two my brain is awake and I realize I'm past the hump and may as well just get up. Whereas when I'm less alert, falling back asleep seems FAR easier than just getting up.
- Scarblac 9y agoI eventually improved that by reframing the problem. I found I really don't have difficulty getting out of bed, unless I went to sleep far too late. Got somewhat better at that (but not much).
